dr dre,

you believe the body of evidence suggesting that Covid deaths are under-reported, on balance I'm inclined to disagree.

You're also quoting Australian medical protocol, they have a 35/1m death rate compared to the UK's 1606/1m.

Even the excess deaths comparison doesn't work, folk were VERY reluctant to go to hospital, even with serious issues, a lot of folk either died at home or left it too late before calling an ambulance; additionally, it's inevitable that the NHS being a bit busy, some services were curtailed leading to other issues.

Under or over, it doesn't really matter - I'm more concerned about the long term effects, our children's children will be paying for this long after we've gone.
